I have a mac and a Windows pc and I’m not sure of this is possible (especially without lag)
I am looking to stream myself creating music with GarageBand and have the viewers be able to see the GarageBand screen, have the users be able to hear what I record onto it while I do it, (I have Neewer mics) and see the video of me as well that can also hear me with another mic potentially that doesn’t have to be in Garageband recording.
I recently got a capture card for my streams But I can't figure out how to listen to my capture with my wave xlr
Some people said line in and out of capture card to line in and out of audio interface
But the wave xlr only has headphone jack and xlr input
Do I have to upgrade my audio interface
I have been working with digital audio for the better part of 2 decades now, so I understand that I may have more experience/knowledge than the average creator, but something I see a lot that confuses me are streamers and YouTubers using things like the GoXLR or, these days, one of the Rodecasters. I am not saying these are bad products, but they seem very limiting to me. You are stuck with only the processing available on the device and all of that processing is applied, permanently, to your mic. Set your gate too aggressively? Too bad! Forgot to unmute? Oops! On the flip side, using the effects on the device means you save CPU cycles (probably a whopping 1% usage with any CPU in the last decade) and there's no latency, so you can monitor in real time if you care. You also get all that processing applied when collaborating with other creators over voice chat, which is nice.
I thought I'd see what the fuss is about and ordered a Rodecaster Duo and it is a pretty neat device, but the more I use it, the more I feel limited by it. It is not a bad device by any means, other than the headphone amp, but nearly everything it can do I can do with my regular interface and OBS, often with more flexibility. I can record my mic, completely unprocessed, while sending it with processing to my stream and also sending it to Wave Link for processing for voice chat if I want (this is the only thing I use Wave Link for as I don't like the latency it adds). My interface already has 3 sets of outputs, so I can route system sounds to one, game to another, and voice chat to a third so all are separated for later processing. But because I have clean mic audio in the recording, I'm not stuck with whatever processing I decided ahead of time. Sure, I don't have faders to control levels, but I also can't think of any time I've needed to change those mid-stream and I also can't accidentally bump the faders in OBS, so my levels are consistent every time. I've seen plenty of streams where people do seem to be needing to adjust, say, their music levels all the time, but I don't really understand why. Is it specifically because you have a physical fader that is hard to set the same? Otherwise, once you have a good level, why would you ever need to change it?
What is your experience with various audio setups? Do you prefer to bake in your effects with a GoXLR, Rodecaster, or similar, or do you prefer to run everything clean?
The title should say everything. And I'm downloading this from a friend who streams. But the problem is it takes too long for him to download cause of bad internet issues and he's okay with me downloading it (in short, he consents it)
But I wanna know if there's any way to download other streamer's VOD?
I've tried more than one stream VOD, and even tried very short highlights.
Anyone else having this issue?
I got a backlog of old vods around 20-50 days old, so if I cancel my amazon prime will these old vods become instantly inaccessible or will their expiration be delayed still?
For reference twitch stores vods up to 7 days. If you have amazon prime and link it, vods store for 60.
i heard that advertiser don't put ads on political content streams. so my question is, can i just add a "politics" tag on my stream, and peoples won't receive any ads (no preroll nor the 3 mins per hour ads)? cause i would enjoy removing ads for peoples if it's possible with this thing
I already got a email regarding this and had recently already redone all my tax related interviews. Is this a bug?
Hello Twitch world, I have been a streamers for a few years (on and off) but just returning after a long break and looking for any input that could drive chat engagement. I use Streamlabs chatbot and SLOBS as well as a Stream deck so if anyone has any ideas on fun and entertaining things for old and new viewers it'd be appreciated.
In the calendar where you can set your stream schedule it asks if you want to repeat the stream every Wednesday for example. We’re on shift work and our schedule is different every week so one week we could be free Monday and Tuesday, the next week we could be good Friday and Saturday. So I was wondering if there’s a way to see the calendar for let’s say a month at a time and input our upcoming streams accordingly? I can only find a week long option.
iv always been curious about twitch teams, but iv never gotten an invite
Text margin settings work on all the main alerts. But not on variation settings? I change the values on the margin section and the text does not move at all.
Any ideas? thanks.
Is there a way to set up automatic shoutouts on nightbot when certain usernames enter the chat during a stream?
With twitch clips I can watch them landscape but whenever I download them on my phone they turn vertical. I don’t know if this is just a phone thing but does anyone know if I can download landscape clips?
Just like the title says. Just started a sports broadcast with some friends. For the first episode, I put it in a podcast and talk show community. Should I leave it there or should it go into Just chatting?
If you search for the "twitch loot cave" and use code TWCYBER24 you should get 30% off any merch.
This is what they tell us:
'Yes, you can make money from ads on Twitch by becoming a Twitch Partner or Affiliate and running ads on your channel'
There's this girl I watch and for the last 6 months, she just runs recordings of her past broadcasts and she usually has around 90 viewers.
So all she does is: turn on the computer, open twitch, pick an old broadcast video, and leave it running. Damn she must be rich by now
I don't know what's happening I literally have enough points to predict and I am also not in any restricted country which isn't allowed to predict I am literally tweaking over this. Whenever I click it this pops up bro and I can't do anything past this
PS: I did try vpn it doesn't works then too
When I open the site I can see some of my followed channels that then instantly disappear and the list refreshes. If I look up the streamer in the search bar I find that they are live and streaming and I am still followed. I've had this happen in the past and it fixed itself somehow but this has been going on for a few days.
Has anyone else experienced this or now how to fix it?
Wondering if anyone has had any issue recovering your account by not receiving an email. I’ve checked primary,promotions, & spam.
Hey! I’m looking for opinions if possible! I’ve been consistently going up almost 1 average viewer a week for a while now, i started streaming 6 months ago, i average around 16-22 viewers per stream until yesterday.
So yesterday i was streaming valorant, and my viewers was going up, and i was getting a lot more action in chat, followers, rewards redemptions, donations, subs, all the sort that i’d imagine normally etc… i got up to 120 viewers with an average of 68 viewers that stream, mental right?
Today i go live again, i average 89 and i get up to an all time high 175!!
I have valorant twitch drops enabled, but like, there’s a million valorant streamers.
Anyone able to understand how and why?
So I not long ago got affiliate and I was fucking around with my friends on stream and said I would do a 36 hour stream if i got a channel points goal. I was originally gonna set it for 50k channel points but got talked into doing it alot lower. So in gonna keep my word and when jt gets the channel point amount I'll organise it.
Now I am an extremely small streamer (like 4 views on average) and I don't expect it to get any higher but I said I would do it so I better
Just after some advice on doing a long stream and recommendations on what to do food wise and what not
i recently streamed from my ps4 but when i ended the stream it did not get saved in the archive. what do i do so this doesn’t happen again.
So basically I had this account that I was watching for twitch drops that I created years ago and never really used. I realized that the account that was linked to the game I was supposed to get the drops was wrong so I wanted to change to the one I was using.
The problem is that this account doesn’t have an email attached, the phone number linked to it is old and I don’t have it anymore and I don’t remember the password. What the fuck do I do
I'm planning a big event involving a raffle w/ some paid elements as a fundraising thing and I wanna keep track of this on screen so ppl know how close we are to certain goals
i am trying to check if my ea account is linked to the correct twitch account
What is it like being an affiliate ? Been streaming for a year and a half now and have yet to reach it. Not looking for pity or anything, just wanting to know what it feels like. Does it feel any different ? Man, having channel points and rewards looks awesome as shit lol. Just wanting to read some good comments to motivate me to keep going
